Does it have to be AB? Good recommendation in Kootenays if you wanted, shoot me a message. If sticking to AB only, disregard.

Just tell them to put their names in the Suffield cull hunts, should get drawn easily from what I hear.

How does that work? Suffield cull hunts you can draw without priority? Tell me more.

Can confirm. Hunts are as easy or hard on the body as you want them to be, and the accommodations are great.

Thanx for all the good advice and info guys ...despite my best intentions to help them pick and book with a good and reputable outfitter they have gone their own way and booked with a guy with no website or references , and doesnt offer food or lodging..he also told the hunters that they ask too many questions and needed a deposit from them before any any more contact could be made ...I wont give up his name ,that would be giving him too much credit ,just hoping these guys dont get screwed any worse than I think is coming ..take care everyone and thanx for your efforts...good luck to all on your draws and happy hunting this fall ...this thread is over ...

And there lies the problem probably not a licensed Outfitter probably just taking cash to set these guys up they'll be probably hunting on illegal land without the right tags and no guide good luck with that

Why not say his name to prevent other people from making the mistake? No need to hide people

I'm going to keep this going just because I think this guy should be giving up he is probably not a licensed Outfitter and just gives Alberta a bad name even though they already have one for outfitting these are the kind of guys that need to be found in throw out believe me I was in the industry for 25 years.
